Top Tips for Small Sustainable Gardens

Modern urban living poses many challenges, not the least being how to create and maintain a sustainable garden in a small space. If you’re a gardener at heart and only have a small backyard or even just a balcony, here are a few tips to get you growing, sustainably.

Grow beans, peas or cucumbers on a trellis or tripod in large decorative pots.

Plant dwarf fruit trees.

Espalier your trees along a fence or a wall.

Grow herbs and cherry tomatoes in hanging baskets.

Pay attention to detail; it’s easy to make a small garden look cluttered.
